The Riva Yares Gallery, founded in
1964, with locations in Scottsdale, Arizona and Santa Fe, New
Mexico, offers two of the primary art spaces in the
country for the exhibition of museum-level modern and contemporary art.
As the longest established contemporary gallery in the region, with
over 15,000 square feet of gallery space, Riva Yares has orchestrated
exhibitions for some of the most important modern and contemporary painters
including Milton Avery, Helen Frankenthaler, Adolph Gottlieb, Hans
Hofmann, Alex Katz, Yves Klein, Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland, Jules Olitski,
George Segal, Esteban Vicente, Tom Wesselmann, among others.

Of the over fifty artists represented by Riva Yares at some juncture over the
past thirty-eight years, more than a dozen have international roots and include
Armand Arman, Fernando Botero, Carlo Maria Mariani, Roberto Márquez, Roberto
Matta, and Jesús Soto.

Several well-known sculptors showing at both locations are Fletcher
Benton, Johan Creten, Rico Eastman, Robert Graham, and Manuel Neri.

The Riva Yares Gallery has been profiled in virutally every major art
publication including Art in America, ArtNews, Art & Auction, as well as
Architectural Digest.

The Riva Yares Gallery has been a member of the ADAA (Art Dealers
Association of America) for the past ten years. Founder and Director
Riva Yares sits on the board of many arts-related entities and
is active within the full continuum of cultural affairs both in Santa Fe and in
Scottsdale. The Riva Yares Foundation has recently underwritten in part, the
current traveling Milton Avery Retrospective (Milwaukee Art Museum, The Norton,
Palm Beach, FL, UCLA's Hammer Museum, CA) and the educational programs for the
forthcoming Hans Hofmann exhibit at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art
featuring selections from the UC-Berkeley Museum collection.

Scottsdale, Arizona and the Phoenix metropolitan area in general have grown
in population by over 40% over the past decade. Scottsdale, with more resorts
per capital than any other city in the country, offers a vast array of
recreational activities with clear skies and sunny days prevalent 95% of the
year.

After having entered its fifth decade, The Riva Yares Gallery
is committed in continuing to present the highest level of modern and
contemporary art in the country.
